Dalai Lama Addresses Tibetan Suicides Nov 20th 2011, 21:45 In a BBC interview, His Holiness the Dalai Lama was asked about the recent suicides by self-immolation by Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns in Sichuan Province, China.� He said he does not encourage people to sacrifice themselves, and worries that the suicides will only cause the Chinese to crack down harder. "The question is how much effect the self-immolations have. That's the question. There is courage -- very strong courage. But how much effect?" the Dalai Lama said. "Courage alone is no substitute. You must utilize your wisdom." "Many Tibetans sacrifice their lives. Nobody knows how many people killed and tortured. I mean death through torture. Nobody knows. But a lot of people suffer. But how much effect? The Chinese respond harder."
